A Little Vacation

Well since we moved to Texas, our vacations include going home to see family.  We have not had a "real" vacation since we lived here!!!  (But that will change come April when we are going to the beach!!!!)

So we left last Wednesday afternoon and headed to Arkansas... spent Wed evening and Thursday morning with the Crowson Clan and then packed up and headed to Tennessee to see the Jones Clan through Monday morning where we packed back up and headed back to Arkansas and then back to Texas on Tuesday afternoon.  We usually take this weekend every year to go because it is my Friday off at work (I'm off every other Friday) and then Monday is a Federal Holiday (President's Day).  So I can use about two days of PTO and get a full week off! 

Thursday morning, Elijah got to meet his Great- Grandmother (Mamaw) for the first time!

Mamaw walking in and said, "Oh my it's a little Mike."  Apparently Elijah favors my dad A LOT when he was a child. What do you think?

One thing I know is those rolls are the same!

We really didn't "do" a whole lot on our trip... relaxed, shopped, gave the grandparents time with Elijah.  Overall it was a relaxing and fun trip "home"

Saturday consisted of going to a 6 year old birthday party-- that's always exciting... the theme was Cars 2 and we bought the birthday boy a Cars Digital Camera-- that's right, we are the cool family!  This camera takes pics and then you upload them to your computer where you have a program that you can make stamps and "Cars" pictures- Perfect for that Cars lover!

Elijah in his jumper as soon as we got home-- he missed his jumper!

Happy Bathtime-- he is starting to get SO much fun during bathtime.  He splashes and plays with his toys!  He did NOT want to get out!

One final pic... Happy 7 months! 

I can't believe how fast these 7 months have gone by... it's just crazy!  He is almost 20 lbs, sits up on his own (most of the time), and ROLLS everywhere!!!  He is trying SO hard to crawl, but just rolls! It's super cute!  He is eating up a storm-- love his fruits and veggies!

Well there is my random post for this week (or the last two weeks)... oh I think I forgot to mention... Elijah ended up getting thrush after his antibiotic-- we started him on medicine and it seems MUCH better... thankfully we have all stayed pretty much sick free the last two weeks (KNOCK ON WOOD)!!!
